Section 15 - Institute of Technology Blanchardstown

1.4 Making an application under the Act
In compiling your application, please note the following guidelines:
• Applications should normally be in writing. You may use the form
entitled ‘Request for Information under the Freedom of Information
Act,’ (Appendix D) which can be downloaded from the Institute
website (www.itb.ie ) or can be obtained by contacting the office
below.
• If you are not using the form outlined in Appendix D, your
application should indicate that the information is sought under FOI
(1997).
• If possible, include a day-time telephone number, so that you may
be contacted quickly if it is necessary to clarify details of your
request.
• Indicate if the information is required in a particular format (e.g.,
photocopy, computer disc).
• Include as much detail as possible to assist the staff of the Institute
to identify the record. Indicate the time period for which you wish
to access records (e.g., records created between May 1998 and
December 1998). Specify the areas of the Institute which are most
relevant to your request. If you have difficulty in identifying the
precise records which you require, the staff of the FOI unit will be
happy to assist you in preparing your requests.
• Requests for information may also be made by fax, by e-mail, or by
writing to the office address below. You may be required to prove
your identity, especially when requesting personal information. You
may, therefore, be asked to produce your passport, driving license
or birth certificate.
Applications under FOI (1997) should be addressed to:
